Keeping Authentication on page reload

[jamby]

So I followed the guide and it's great! 👍

However, I'm at the point where I authenticate on the frontend and get the auth token back from the server (along with email, username, and whatever else I decide).

Now what I want to be able to do, is when I store the authToken in localStorage, and I refresh the page, it should know that I'm still logged in without me having to relog in.

Was wondering how we would do that? Thanks!

Hello @jamby,
This is usually done by front-end applications. I suppose RoR applications could do it too, but you should research how to keep a session.

I'm closing this as it's not directly related to the tutorial.
